.................. or has anyone else noticed a decline in boating interest in their area? This came to mind while replying to a posting by rgranger entitled "From lemons to lemonade"

Knowing the violent repercussions for hijacking threads around here , I decided to post a new one.
Our marina, Thunderbird Marina, for the first time in history is advertising available moorage. A number of empty berths in the marina. I have heard a similar story from one other marina in the Vancouver area.
About five years ago, a reporter here did an article on boating in the Vancouver area. The usual fluff ........ mega yachts, prices, places to go, and "availability of moorage". At that time, as long as a ten year wait for a boat in the 40 ft. length. One other thing was the purchase of moorage in our downtown harbour area going in the range of several $100K. Not that way any more.
